Thursday 11 September
Another beautiful day in paradise went for a quick fish caught 3 nice reef fish in quick time. Continued around the island for a quick look, it’s a lot bigger than I thought. On the eastern side the hills drop straight to the sea, with the most spectacular cliffs. Had lunch a freshly caught reef fish, what else, on Whites Beach which is named after the famous family that used to have the lease. Went for a walk, not only was I the only person there but I made the only set of footprints on the whole beach. The sand is white and small rocky outcrops covered in pine trees and a fringing reef guard the entrance. Found two large fishing floats that I claimed, as I was the only beachcomber in sight. Continued around the Island, engine stopped and so I bleed the fuel system, continued with no problem. Saw a trevally leap out of the water and worked out the it must have been up a group of bait fish that i could see as a dark shadow moving over the sand .Wrong , it was a school of large trevally , grabbed my lure rod and flicked out . Got a hit straight away, a long fight ensured with it finally getting away but it bent the hook on the lure. Continued on and picked up a half of a bucket of oysters and then on to the mooring in West Bay. Dinner, steamed oysters followed by reef fish and avocado. A few cold beers and then off to bed.
